Remarkably fresh and bright, rich and somewhat round. I don't get oak (and I'm sensitive to oak, including on Rodriguez' higher end tinto). Nor do I get much bottle evolution. But a very nice, well built wine.

this is sort of a thelonious monk wine. just hung crooked but grooves once you get used to it. spritzy and perfumed. integrated oak on the nose. rich like a chardonnay on the palate but with bright, tart citrus notes like a loire sauv blanc. huge acidity. a bit vegetal as well. shows a little salt. long finish.
